DR.. P. r. Quimby.

lone little Hover bring.
1t is many years since the brave spirit of DR.. F.
Z. Quimby passed on to a higher life. Mother
earth is resting upon his earthly form. The beauti
full summer has come and gone again The pure
mantle of snow has rested many winters over his
grave. But he is not forgotten. Nor wW he be.
In many homes to-day his name is spoken with
love and gratitude and the story of his wonderful
power to relieve suffering is often repeated. This
is true not only of his State, but of many dis
tant ones of homes where he alleviated suffering,
restored strength and life to earths children.
In those early days, this power of mind over
disease, of giving strength and vitality with the
magnetic pass of the hand, not as well under
stood as at this later day. Had it been Dr. p. +.
Quimby would have had more freedom in the
exercise of this almost God given gift. But he
could not have been more faithful to the trust.
He did not complain. Strong in his own power of
victory over disease he worked on. When many
men would have faltercd, he advanced his pro-
gressive thoughts and gave his hand to suffering
humanity And many times he gave "Without
money and without price
As he grew older, time brought to him
greater development of this power to conquer
pain The good that he accomplished, the suffer
ing that he avcrtcd, the crippled forms that were
restored under his kind, magnetic hand cannot be
told in this simple tribute to his pleasant memory.
Whenever | hear the name of p T.. Quimby
spoken it brings throb Of pleasure to my heart.
In moment his face ri:es before me. recall the
earlier days when Belfast was Il village (and his
practice had but begun before the city charter
had been seen before the railroad had been
thought of; before the first sweet chimes of the
Iniversalst church bell had been heard by the
good people of the pretty town, and when Our
George was very small boy in short jackets. In his
youthful, vigorous days when the color was fresh
upon his check and his dark wonderful ewes were
az their brightest coming and going with a quick
sprngng step, joke upon his lips, with quick
ear to hear the suffering cry, and a hand ever ex-
tended To give relief remember DR.. p. p. Quinn
by And could this man die? The body is not the
man. Could that brave spirit die? Could that
power, that will, be consigned to ther earth!
In that world of spirit, little known, little un
derstood, of which we dream in our best hours, to
which we turn III anguish when our loved ones
are taken, who can tell Of the embodiment of this
brave spirit, of the heights that he may have
reached lie seemed inspired on earth. He loved
to give strength to the weak and afflicted Who

The Trot,iny vs.. the Work Horse.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: In buying a
car load of Canada horses in Boston this week for
Bangor market as it was difficult for those want
ing heavy teams to get them in Maine, it occurred
to me that our farmers were making Il mistake in
not breeding some heavy horses. 1t seemed AS if
the cash paid for these horses-from $500 to $500
each-shoul have been left in Maine instead of
being pockcted by our Canadian ncighbors. In
own farm several of this load, nc said that his
age This would be quite an item with our Waldo
county farmers as OF late years, since moving
machines have come in vogue, each farmer is
tura age 'o not increase in value. If we We're
raising Pcrchcrons and Cv,lesales each farmer
would have team to do his farm work by using
the colts while they would be getting growth and
additional value. These large breeds of horses
may be worked without any breaking as they are
naturally Kind and good workers. Raising trot
tiers is Ike Il lottery not in one hundred wins
If the cost Of sire is 500 more, of the colt
must he Il pet have box stall and lots of time put
out on him. Trotting gear and regalia must be
bought even if the farm has to he mortgage,l, and
a boy, if at certain age rrcvocably spoiled as he
take to water if submitted to the companonship
attendant "n the race course and horse trot. We
would not advise if one had Il good gated mare
with good strains of trottinS blood in her to breed
to Il Norman horse, as there is steady demand for
grntlcman's driving horses which bring very much
more in the market than heavy draft horses. Onc
thing i'll favor of the latter is that they are less
subject to accident. They invariably ,luiet to
fences in the pasture. Another point in favor of
the Perchcrons is that they will cat and do we'll
rough fodder, straw and cheap hay while the
trotter must have the best of hay and plenty of
grain. y great deal of Judgment should be used
in selecting breeds of cattle sheep and horses,
the farmers success more than half depends on
the class of animals he keeps on his farm. Then
@o"l care in rearing and training the same and
fitting them 80 they will bring a rt,nunerative
price when of age to Ec ~alahlc are the guarantees
of his prosperity. |. {. IIEEi.

Dwelling in Unity.

The town of Unity i, a picturesque tract of
hill country in Western New Hampshire. A
good old clergyman. living in an adjoining
town, was one day called upon by Il rural coll-
pie who wished to he married. The proper
ceremony was duly performed. and then the
minister gave them some fathcry cNhortaton
and advice about their new course. "Now that
your lives are promised to each other truly and

We presume that hou>ekcaperS generally are
not aware that cream tartar contains no nutr-
trivc properties, or anything of value to the
system. Dr. Samuel jackson, an eminent au-
1horty. and late Professor of the Institutes of
Medicine i'll the University of Pennsylvania
said: "Thc acid of cream of tartar is not a con-

Other authorities have declared that the effect
of cream of tartar is to greatly retard the pro-

tative changes. The reasonable conclusion is
therefore reached, that cream of tartar is of no
value to the system. in Il dictctic point of view.

if a majority are in favor the Legislature may

people assembled again saturday in town meeting
to raise money to buy Il road machine. At the
previous meeting the town voted to buy a road
machine but was little short of team enough to
raise the money for that purpose, many claiming
that the selcctmen could take the money appro-
priated for town expenses 10 buy a road machine,
but must have a vote from the town and raise
money for that purpose. Hence the meeting was
called and the town voted again to buy the machine
this year, and also voted to raise the money. The
machine and no machine party close. The
and some of those opposed kicked pretty hard, but
their arguments were rather poor when many
have driven over the good road made with q
machine at much less cost than the old method of
turnpiking roads. Some curious objections were
raised by the opposition. Some declared that
ring would get all the money, while others thought
that next year the right time to buy. Some
thought they would have to pay their road tax in
money. few thought those with teams would
have to make the most of the roads. Probably the
last is not much out of the way. Those in favor
of the machine thought the days for humbugs
past with road machine, as their good works
could be seen on every hand. 1t was also thought
the town would be benefited by buying a machine
it would get better roads at less cost. So you
have little of both sides. The people in town
would like to hear through the journal the expert.
ence with road machines of other towns. Write
and help out some of our voters who fear that tey
